Is there an easy way of auto generating a hostname at boot time? I've got a system that I'm building that runs on a minimal setup from a ramdisk and stores very little state information.
I'd like to be able to build multiple of these units on my network. Is there a way of having a hostname auto generted at boot time, possibly based on an available network address. e.g. hostname not on the network: beagleboard hostname on the network: beagleboard-00259C642A2C Getting the hostname suffix from the ethernet0 HWaddr. I'm sure that this is a standard sort of solution, I just don't know the right keyword combination to find it. Thanks.
